My DH spent a year being emotional abusive towards me (name calling, sarky comments, gaslighting, aggressive, emotionally distant). I had long suspected him to be suffering from depression as this was so out of character for him. He was/is going through some work & his own family issues.
Recently after commencing anti depressants he is starting to return to his normal self- happier, more relaxed. The problem I have is I seem to be unable to forget how he treated me (this was just after the birth of DS so felt very vulnerable myself) & the fact he took so long to seek medical help.
I have always tried to support him & will continue to do so but I am finding it hard to forgive.
Is it just time? He acknowledges that he wasn't nice to me but now just wants to move on & forget about it, which I'm struggling to do
Any advice would be appreciated.
